Bring Your Hankies

We will be going to go see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 soon - probably this evening.  So many conflicting emotions:  anticipation; excitement; sadness at the closing of the series. A tinge of worry - how will the on-screen deaths play out? How emotionally charged will it be?

Will Herself cry?  I am uncertain.  While she is among the first to admit that she is frequently moved to tears, there are currently various circumstances about which she feels enough genuine sorrow that to cry because of a movie seems disingenuous.  Furthermore, she does not want to place her companion movie-goers in the uncomfortable position of feeling obligated to try to provide solace for her, when she herself cannot even determine what would be comforting at this juncture. She might even need solitude. She does not know.     

Just to be on the safe side, she will bring tissues with her to the theater.  And we will be certain to provide a review of the movie for you afterwards.
